Staley, Mori, Zorn : Alchemical Theatre

 

Alchemical Theatre: [#4058]

Jim Staley
Ikue Mori
John Zorn

Friends and musical cohorts since the early 1980s, these three master improvisers come together to perform a freewheeling set of outrageous and mind-blowing improvisations. Recorded at Roulette, founded in 1978 and one of New York’s most adventurous venues, the music is full of surprising twists and jumps from one mood to another with mercurial synchronicity. Dedicated to the memory of Downtown theatrical genius Richard Foreman, “Alchemical Theatre” presents nine pieces of tele-pathic, counter-intuitive New York improvisation by three legendary figures of the Downtown scene.
